Over the Edge IC

[Gamgee]

You all know why your on such an elegant and luxurious ship in the service of Senator Alea. She needs people who are of free standing for sensitive missions. Most of you signed up as freelancers, one is a loyal and trusted aid, and another a stow away caught sneaking into the cargo hold and in need of some money. Until now the senator has been unusually quiet, but she makes sure the pay is good to quell any questions. This is the first time the ship hasn't been used to tour the opulent planets of the core worlds party hopping or else visiting acquaintances, friends and family.

This mission takes the senator back to her home system of Cartiche, a large solar system known as one of the few bread baskets of the core worlds. The first wave of settlers here were fortunate enough to find four worlds suited for farming, this has made them some of the wealthiest people in the core worlds. Over generations they became noble families supplying food to a large portion of the core worlds. In time cultured cities sprang up hosting the most elaborate balls and parties, young men and women with hopes for the future come here to ply their talent. Most never make it, instead forced by circumstance to the farms.

By all accounts the system is a gem among gems in the core world. Twenty eight years ago this attracted the Sith Empire. They fell upon the Republic like a born predator, the Republic was losing on all fronts. Then the oddest thing occurred. The Treaty of Coruscant brought peace to the shattered galaxy. It stipulated an immediate cease fire on all battle fronts. This is where you and the senator come into play. Her home system is split asunder half under the control of the Sith Empire, and half still under Republic control. Constant skirmishes still break out between the sides despite the official treaty.

It's been over a year since the treaty and the Sith are counting their gains in the system. For reasons unknown the young senator thinks she will be the one to single handedly bring peace and unify the system once more. Her eyes behold even loftier goals though, bring peace to the Republic and Sith Empire. This is why your on the way to the cold resort world known as Crystoria, once a world for peace and relaxation it has fallen under control of the Sith. Senator Alea has been invited to this world personally by the ruling governor Inquisitor Braxus.

Looking over the icy plains of Crystoria everyone is filled with a myriad of emotions. Suspicion chief among them. Captain Gannacus thinks the senator is being foolish to attend this party in good faith. As the ship soars closer to the former resort town of Winterlights you look through a window to see the immense tower of the newly opened Winterlight, which the town is named after.

As you fly closer to the space port it looks to be a delicate town, with very little houses past a few stories. The entire town is calm and peaceful looking even from the air. You can see the Ski lodge off in the distance as well as the mountain the town sits under. The only thing marring the cities beauty is a harsh gunmetal grey military base dominating the area near the space port. Sith military vessels come and go from this with haste to who knows where.

----

All of you sit in the cockpit of the The Dawnstar looking down as you make final approach at the space port. You can tell even from here the space port isn't like most, much of it's made of glass and elegant curves to match the ice surrounding the town. Captain Gannacus gives all of you a look over before the inevitable summoning from the senator. Despite his apparent youth his face is marred by lines of worry, concern, and suspicion. He keeps himself clean shaven and tidy for meeting dignitaries.

He has a look of doubt as he addresses you, but doesn't say anything against your motley appearance “Whatever Senator Alea says don't let her get you off guard. I have a suspicious feeling about this whole affair. All I can do is trust in you now, most of you have stellar reputations. Let's just get in, do what she asks, and get out safely.”

Before anyone can get a word in edge wise the predictable beep of Captain Gannacus comlink goes off. The only words you can hear him utter in reply is “Yes Ma'am.” After this he looks at you “Alright, that was her. She wants us to assemble in the communication room so she can finally tell you what your job is.” He laves ahead of you, giving you a few moments to collect yourselves.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Kai Looks around at the rest of the crew, noting that he hasn't had but more then a few snippets of conversation with any of them* Greetings everyone, I am Kai, the pilot of this bird. Before we get off this ship, I think we should make short introductions so we aren't going into a possibly dangerous situation as complete strangers. I'm a mercenary from planet Duros, met the Senator by saving a ship she was on when the pilot lost consciousness. How about the rest of you?

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Torv scratches the back of his head and leans back in his chair to stretch. He feels his back loosen up and leans back forward glancing at Kai. "My name is Torv and I am an information broker. The senator just recently hired me."

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkim
The Snivvian in the corner addresses the group. He clears his throat and stands up.
"Any of you guys got 2.5 credits I could...? Nevermind. Its not like I could get off this rock to pay it off."
He then scans the room for any loose objects worth anything.

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf has been sitting, skimming over a datapad since he entered the room. When the pilot addresses everyone he looks up and puts the datapad away. "I am Skalf Toro but some call me Skalftoro. Both sound exactly the same but are spelled a little differently. Apparently I'm here to waste my talents keeping this ship running. Hopefully our employer has something a little more interesting in store for us than joy riding across worlds and playing in the snow."

[Leik]

Jimbobus

Entering the room Jimbobus briefly scanned each individual taking note with thinly veiled contempt for the Snivvian eying the luxury accommodations as though he would pry everything off that wasn't welded in place he was then mildly put off at his most recent hire, the Kel Dorian... What was his name?

Hmph, he thought inwardly, the pompous bastard had been one of the more shining examples for what they needed and certainly arrogantly demanded he be compensated as such. Turning his thoughts outwardly he smiled as warmly as he could given his contempt..

"Welcome my new friends. I'd like to formally welcome you on behalf of the Senator." (Deception roll, OOC thread) Translating the same message into each of their native tongues with well-practiced fluency. Except for the Bothan, he'd have to make a point of learning it from him.

"Greetings aside, the Senator is a busy woman. If you'll now follow me into the communications room, we can get on with it and off this frigid block of ice." He strolled passed the lot of them without a second thought, entering first into the communications room.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
"Bah, I've got nothing better to do," grunts the smuggler as he decides to follow Jimbobus, attempting to pocket a trinket from the table as he goes.

Stealth for stealing: 1d20+12
Perception for sensing contempt:1d20+3

When Jimbobus isn't looking, the Snivvian scoundrel sticks his tongue out in a rude gesture, sensing the man's obvious contempt.

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Glancing outside of the ship one last time at the ice and snow, Torv let's out a sigh, rises from his seat and follows after Jimbobus into the communications room. "Quite the strange little group we have here," he thinks to himself.

[Leik]

Jimbobus.

Leaning in he spoke with a low tones edged venomously, "Put it back, you're already on thin ice as it is, stowing away in our cargo hold."

"Guards, escort our friend here. See that he's watched from this point on."

[Gamgee]

No sooner than he leaves than does Captain Gannacus stomp back down the hallway. Now more than ever your reminded he's carrying a big gun and some seriously heavy armor. He's flanked by two republic guards.

"Having problems already Jim? What did he do?"

[Leik]

"I've caught our latest.... Acquisition in the act of theft, it would seem that he wanted a keepsake of his voyage."

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Oblivious to the attempted theft and the 'private conversation' between Jimbobus and Garny, Skalf takes out his data pad and makes a quick entry before returning it to his utility belt. He then gets up and starts making his way towards the communication room.

"Well, let's go see what her royal senatorness has to say."

[Gamgee]

"First a stowaway, and now a thief? After we declined to turned you in to the Republic Authorities. Or perhaps the Sith now that we're here. There's rumors they torture the prisoners for fun. Explain yourself before the Senator snivvian." He motions for his guards to escort you down the hallway. They take the stolen bobble head off of you. Incidentally in your haste you didn't see it was a diamond carved bobble head. On the bottom is inscribed "Boom Headshot" Captain Gannicus motions for the others to make their way to the communication room.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Silently laughs at his compatriots actions in trying to steal whatever it was* Well, that is what I call getting off on the wrong foot. Are you sure we can't just forget this whole thing? He made a mistake, I'm sure he's sorry, and has learned his lesson*After making his impassioned speech, Kai falls in line and follows jimbobus towards the communication room*

[roll0]

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
"Alright, alright. Geez, it was just a souvenir," Garny yelps as he's pushed roughly down the hall by two large guards.
"Could've gotten some nice credits for that..."

[Gamgee]

Gannacus scowls at you for such a suggestion and escorts Garney down the hallway personally. He follows the others, making sure Senator Alea sees them first. It only takes a few moments to walk down the hallway and through the wooden door (metal inside, wood on the outside to look good). A brass plate on the door marks this as the communication room.

Walking into the room it never ceases to amaze you in how the ship was designed. This room is spherical in shape, and gives the impression of room and wealth. In the center of the room is a holotable, a finely crafted circular wooden table and a set of chairs for a dozen people. The projector in the center flares to life and the blue image displays a rotating view of Crystoria.

Seated in the largest chair saved for herself is Senator Alea. In her white robes lined with fur for the weather and silver for decoration she is a stunning image of a senator. She looks happy to see all of you, except for the stow away. Her face shifts from happy to suspicion upon seeing him. "Welcome, good to see you've finally joined me for the mission details. I apologies for the intrusion upon our ship, but it has to be dealt with now." She stares at Garney coolly, unimpressed by his honeyed words from earlier "Explain yourself. I trusted you once, give me one good reason I shouldn't give you to the Sith. It would be sign of good faith that we trust them enough to turn over a prisoner, aiding my cause."

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
"I've got some connections in the Sith, maybe I could help you out? What's the name of the guy we'll be talking too? I might know him."

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Kai Stares at Garny in a bit of shock, and a great deal of suspicion, thinking "He has connections with Sith? They aren't good people to deal with, I wonder if he can be trusted"*

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf, completely disinterested in the Snivvian's dilemma, turns his attention towards the holo-projection of the planet and studies it intently.


Rolling physical sciences check to see if he notices anything of interest regarding the geology of the planet: [roll0]

[Gamgee]

She bursts out laughing "You? You think you know Inqusitor Braxus? The governor for the Sith in this system?" It takes her a minute to compose herself. "I seriously doubt you know the highest ranking man the Sith Empire has in this system Snivvian. Your boasts go far."

She takes a sip from the glass of wine near her before continuing "I don't care who you think you know Snivvian. I've been incredibly lenient with you. Although you are right about one thing. I can use your help, but your going to have to sign a contract in full. I'll pay you, but your to be in my service. Listening to my orders." She pauses and leans forward with a menacing look on her face "I know plenty of people in high and low places Snivvian. Even if you have Sith contacts, I assure you your escape from them would be the least of your problems. Choose your next words carefully."

Skalf Toro:
You investigate the hologram bored of the proceedings. Crystoria is a gem of a world. You can make out some basic features from the map. Mainly an ice planet, you only see a few dense clusters of lights from cities. Most of them along the equator where it is just warm enough to be a winter wonderland. Further north and south and the temperature soon drops too much for pleasurable activities like skating, skiing, or other winter activities. Without lab equipment, planet samples, and a ship with detailed scanners it's impossible to say any more.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkim
The Snivvian scrunches up his already a bit scrunched up face and leans forward, his face a few inches from the senator.
"Fine," he says, "I'll consider it. But first, how much are we talking?"
He leans back in his chair.
"And by the way," he says, "I do happen to know Inquisitor Braxus. We're not on the best of terms, however. Try not to bring up the Ord Biniir debacle. We wouldn't want to jog any memories."
Rolling deception for the whole Braxus thing.

[Gamgee]

A devilish grin spread on her face. "Oh really? I happen to be the honored guest of Braxus. He's my escort for the evening. Greeting me personally in the hopes of opening diplomatic talk. I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about when he get's here. The pay is the same as the others I've hired recently. Two thousand credits a month, but that's just starting pay.


OOC:
Living expense for an average person and average comforts a month is 1,000 credits. Leaving you with 1,000 credits a month.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
The scoundrel accepts the senator's offer, looking satisfied.
"Let's get going then."

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Kai walks up to Garny and elbows him hard in the ribs* Look man, just keep your trap shut, before you get yourself, and possibly the rest of us, into trouble that we don't need. This night is looking to be complicated enough as it is.

Roll Persuasion: Intimidate check against Garny [roll0]

OOC: I'm unsure if Persuasion: intimidate is modified by CHR or STR

[Gamgee]

Senator Alea makes a quick call on her comlink. Presumably to Inquisitor Braxus, after a brief chat she hangs up. You heard her mention you. She then enjoys the rest of her glass of wine while waiting. After several minutes of waiting your startled when the boarding ramp of the ship descends letting in a light breeze and some snow flakes.

Walking up the ramp is an imposing human that is seven feet tall. He towers over you in his dark robes lines with black fur of some unknown creature. At his side dangles a lightsaber. Alea greets him like an old friend, but the scowl doesn't disappear from his face. They talk briefly, and you get your first good look of his battle scared face. You can see his right eye is cybernetic. Alea explains the situation to him. He turns to face Garney, and he doesn't look amused at the proceedings.

"So... your the one who allegedly knows me, and from a planet that doesn't exist. Alea told me she had a troublesome stow away on board. One who doesn't seem to know when to stop wagging his fat tongue. Now you better do something amazing if you expect me to forgive you for wasting the lovely senators time. And mine." By reflex his hand is grasping his lightsaber.

Kai:
It's not enough to get the stubborn fools attention. You have a very bad feelings about this... well about what's going to happen to him.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
"Hey! I may be a dirty-rotten scoundrel, but at least get your facts straight before you insult me! Ord Biniir is a real planet. Er, perhaps you've never been there before. Maybe I'm misremembering. You know, Sith names. They all sound the same. Maybe it was an Inquisitor Barczus or something."
He is visibly getting nervous, obviously scared by the man's imposing physique.
"Er, something amazing? I can juggle pretty well! And shine boots!"

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf has been staring fixedly at the planetary map, catching bits and pieces of the questions Inquisitor Braxis has been asking. Without looking away from the map he responds as if the question were posed to him "Obviously he's been making a pathetic attempt to show off his talents ever since he came on board. His skills may prove useful if he can ever master them."

[Gamgee]

"You don't know how glad I am you said such entertaining stuff Snivvian." He gives you a moment to relax. "It means I can do some very entertaining stuff to you later in the jail's torture room before sentencing you." Then he shakes his head "Where are my manners. Lady Alea should decide your fate."

She pauses to think for a moment, smiling with the possibilities, then sighs disappointed. Braxus looks at her with a raised eyebrow "What did you have in mind?"

"Oh... just something not legal in the Republic."

This is where Braxus smiles "Your not in the Republic, your in Sith space. Your wish is my command Alea."

It takes her a minute to spit it our "Slavery. He's so funny. Such a big mouth could come in handy. It would be a shame if something were to happen to him. Or worse... if I had to pay for him. But there's no rules like that in this sector."

"There are now." He turns his attention back to Garny. "Congradulations. Your slave 001. The first in the sector. Think of the production boom if there's more foolish people like him." Now the senator looks a little sad. "That's a little unfair. I think we should give him one last chance to beg to us for forgiveness. On his knees, kissing our shoes and praising us for being so merciful." Braxus looks like he's doing his best to hold back his disappointment. "Very well, I'll give him one last chance to get to his knees, kiss my boots, and beg for forgiveness." They both look at Garny expectantly.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
The Snivvian gets on his knees, kisses his boots, and praises him for being so merciful.
"Oh, thank you oh benevolent Sith leader for sparing my life," he says enthusiastically. This goes on for a while, and he eventually stops, out of breath.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Clears his throat, semi-loudly* So, now that we've gotten those unpleasantries out of the way, perhaps you could proceed with exactly what you need us for tonight m'lady? Considering the amount you're paying us, I expect it might involve a bit of danger?

[Gamgee]

Senator Alea smiles "This night is proving to be most amusing." Inquisitor Braxus is also smiling "This unexpected entertainment is just the start. Now shall we make our way to the opening ceremonies? I'm sure there are many introductions to make." The senator just bows and walks out with Inquisitor Braxus still laughing about the events.

As soon as the landing ramp closes Captain Gannacus comes up to Garny and punches you in the face incredibly hard. You can see stars, and taste blood. "If you ever do something that insolent again I'll ask to personally flay you alive. Never talk like that to Senator Alea again. Guards escort him to the jail cell until we get order what to do with him. The rest of you bunker down for the night. Alea's plan has been delayed thanks to the stow away. Get your rest while you can, your going to need it.

10 damage to Garny.

Edit
Sorry about the post wulf. I was writing this one as you posted. This is what I wanted to happen. So I'll just let you edit it or pretend it didn't happen.

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf let's out an irritated sigh then wanders off to his bunk. Passing by Captain Gannacus he stops for a moment and remarks "You do realize Snivvians have exceptionally thick skin? Flaying may prove to be a challenge."

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Torv echoes Skalf Toro's sigh as he rises and heads to the door. He over hears Skalf's comment and smirks a little bit as he walks by.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Makes his way to his bunk, casting an irritated glance in Garny's direction*

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
The Snivvian nurses his black eye, plotting revenge from his jailcell. He's no murderer, but he wouldn't object to stranding the senator on a hostile planet. She was a supporter of slavery, after all.

[Leik]

Jimbobus.

"Sorry, I was otherwise detained, there were pressing financial matters that needed a call." He cleared his throat, briefly forgetting his manners he turned to Braxus. "My apologies lord, I was momentarily without my head. Please forgive my rudeness in not greeting you properly first."

[Gamgee]

The day breaks relatively warm for Crystoria with a light snowfall drifting past the view ports. As you wake up and slowly make your way to the communications room to report in for the day's duties you find Senator Alea waiting there for all of you to assemble. She has the snivvian dragged out by the guards and set in front of a desk with a holopad pad.

Garny: The holopad is open to a contract you must sign. A stylus is there for your signature. The contract stipulates payment of 2000 credits a month until the job as outlined is done. Until then your forced to be utterly obedient to the senator. Only a step or two above slavery, though at least the pay is good. She doesn't wait to ask you to sign it, she expects it. Captain Gannacus is watching you and just looking for an excuse to snap some limbs.

Once the Snivvian has been forced into the chair to consider his offer she focuses her attention on you. "I'm sorry for the delay once more in our real purpose here. I used the night to turn Inquisitor Braxus opinion of myself around. You can thank the Snivvian for this, Braxus rather enjoyed himself seeing him beg. I've been invited as a guest of honour to the rest of the ceremonies for these next two weeks."

She pauses for breath after so much talk before continuing "My goal is to foster and forge an alliance between The Republic and Sith Empire. All across the senate and debate halls we've found no headway. This is our big chance, but I have to get to know the man and his actions more. Myself, and the other dignitaries he's invited are the first republic people to set foot on Crystoria since it's capitulation to the Sith so many years ago.

She hits a button on the holotable in the circular room and a view of the solar system appears. There are twelve planets, six of them are habitable, and four of them are perfect for farms. Terra Omega and Crystoria are the furthest habitable planets, and the only two large one sunder Sith control. "Republic Intelligence has been unable to find the motive for such an invasion. They purposely went for Crystoria, the other barren worlds, and the asteroid belt first. Only conquering the farming world Terra Omega after they secured the outer regions and started to sweep back into the Republic held worlds."

"I'm here to find out what goal the conquering invaders had in mind to take the planets of least value. It's incredibly suspicious. Thankfully I was able to gain a little of his trust thanks to my treatment of the Snivvian. I want to get the edge over the others seeking the glory and wealth that would come with bringing true peace to the two Empires. To this end I have hired all of you. Many of you are excellent at gathering information, and you're going to assist me in this task. Hit the streets and see what the people think. I know there's several lodges and bars here in town. Now does anyone have any questions or ideas? I am to meet Braxus in The Winterlight soon, I need you to work as fast as possible. My success depends on what I have to use as leverage."

Planet Order:
Pastoria (Republic) > Elysium (Republic) > Terra Alpha (Republic) > Terra Omega > Crystoria > 6 unnamed and uninhabited words all of them significantly smaller than the habitable worlds. > Asteroid Belt.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Well my lady, I can offer an idea right now. From the sounds of it, they probably took those outer worlds, even the barren ones, so they could use them as staging depots in order for a more larger, powerful invasion force later on down the road. That, and if they just went for the main planets, we could have the option of sneaking past them, building outposts on those barren planets ourselves under a veil of secrecy, and then striking at them in a pincer like move. I agree though, we should all hit the streets in an effort to find out more.

This is for my Tactical knowledge displayed above: [roll0]

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf has been unusually attentive since the meeting began, intrigued by the senator's dilemma. After studying the planetary map a bit more he speaks. "The Sith have no use for cultivation. Their hearts lie in power and destruction. They would not invade this system for habitation. There is something about these two cold worlds that will grant them power to some degree."

Skalf stands and addresses Senator Alea directly. "There is little I could learn from speaking to the local populace myself. My skills lie more in direct analysis. Is there perhaps a library or database that I could study to learn more about these two planets?"

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
"If I helped so much, the least you can do is thank me." The Snivvian says snidely to the senator. Gannacus raises his hand in a fist.
"Hey! Hey! Alright! Sorry! Geez, no need to beat me any more. I'll sign the contract." Garny signs the contract with the stylus, grumbling.
"I oughta be paid more," he mumbles, "That guys boots tasted like Bantha poodoo. If there's one thing I've learned, you can tell a lot about a man by his boots..."

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Torv glances over the map a few times examining the planets. He looks at the senator and shrugs a little saying "I think there might be some truth to Kai's speculation, but who knows, they could have more then just outposts on those planets. I'll be of much better use if I deal with the locals."

[Leik]

Jimbobus

The Miraluka had been in the employ of the Senator for good while now, accustomed to the deadlines he studied the map, finding nothing he quipped up in a deliberate tone, "I'll see what I can find, if there's a financial reason for holding those planets, I'm sure I'll find it. Though, they all seem to be barren wastelands from what I can see..." He trailed off before stepping away.

"Mistress, I'll check the usual channels, I'm not entirely certain what I'll find. But, I'll more than likely find more out on my own." He stared at the motley lot he was tasked to find, certainly they had their own avenues of intel, they however would not have access to more... Illustrious circles. He coughed, "Mistress, If you'll excuse me I shall prepare my things and see what I can dig up. I'll be in contact."

Jimbobus left the group, heading back to the ship where his more well-to-do garments were kept. Jimbobus it would seem was a man of few words.

[Gamgee]

The senator avoids the offhand comment from the Snivvian. She turns her attention to the crews speculation "All valid theories, and you can find out more later at the local archives or perhaps one of those... bars the common folk hang around in. The one thing I'm sure of is they aren't here for anything good. When they conquered Crystoria there was a lot of people out of work, the Sith have little need of tourism unless it's for their elite. From what spies tell me few are in need of jobs, I want you to get down on the streets and find out who's doing all the hiring. Unless there are other questions I shall meet with Braxus and the other attendees. If you find anything out tell Gannacus, he'll be sure to tactfully relay the information to me." She pauses to see if anyone has any last minute comments.

Kai Sanlai:
ooc:
That's not tactical knowledge. Tactics would be knowing when to flank an opposing squad. Or the best place to set up an ambush. Good hiding locations to ambush someone. Not things like figuring out intelligence on an enemy. Though it can be used to plan out a large scale battle (assuming your in the position to do so). Also typically you roll before you say what's going on. This way I can tell you what happens/you think of. So if you want to use tactics. Just make a roll for it, and I'll tell you what happens. (I'm the GM after all). Though if that's just your speculation, no rolls needed.

[Gamgee]

OOC:
Uh... you sort of have to GO to the archives. :smallamused:

[Gamgee]

Skalf Toro
Goes to the archives.
Those are planet side. Are you just leaving everyone else mid conversation with no explanation where the hell your going?

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

If you're done with us then m'lady, I think I am going to head into town and check out the local bounty hunter/merc hang-out and then maybe go around to a few bars and see if I can't dig up some information.

[Leik]

Jimbobus

Jimbobus returned, his all temperature cloak wrapped neatly about his body. The Miraluka was not looking forward to the cold weather. Nodding to the Senator upon his return he addressed the group, "If we're all ready, we can head out now. I needn't remind anyone that we're in frothy waters, keep your guard up. I don't think they'll like us asking questions. Mistress, we'll report back to you immediately should we find anything pressing. Otherwise, enjoy your... night." Jimbobus coughed.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin

"I'll head out to the bars, I need a drink. Oh, and I guess I could ask around for information there. If I remember it."

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

"Well then i'll take up your advice and figure out who's hiring everyone. I'll head out with Garny and investigate the patrons there. Or perhaps i'll get Garny a few drinks and let him do it."

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

"I'll explore the archives and see if I can find any reason the sith would want these planets."

[Gamgee]

Senator Alea bows her head quickly "Well then we have a plan. Best of luck to you all, but I must be off." With that she leaves the ship making her way to the grand hotel, which is sparkling in the morning light.

Kai Sanlai, Garny Tornalkin, Torv Sey'fa:
You make your way into town observing the locals, what few of them there are. The inner parts of town are bright, happy, and gleaming examples of a tourist resort with people frolicking through the streets. Many are looking at the extravagant shops that line the street wondering what to buy and where. It doesn't take you too long to find your way to the side of town closest to the base, it's obvious from the streets that the people here are less than happy with life. Many of the fancy shops, high class taverns, or fancy restaurants have been closed.

Some have been hastily converted into rough bars for the new working class, and the Sith. Places like the Oloi'Matrowick, it looks like it once would have been a family restaurant with fires and homey wood construction. Now shutters have been hastily been installed over many of the numerous windows. A Trandoshan in armor guards the entry, looking for trouble. He gives you a cursory glance, but otherwise pays no heed. From the customers heading inside it's clear this bar caters primarily to aliens. A minority from what you seen walking the streets. Though a few humans are entering as well, most look like they're expecting trouble.

Jimbobus, Skalf Toro:
You two split off from the group heading towards more civil locals. The government offices, and services center is also located on the far side of town. They wouldn't want to remind tourists of their jobs back wherever they came from. Consequently few people utilize the archives except the token white collar workers needed to staff the various government services. The only sign's here that betray the Sith's presence are the silver and black armored guards that occasionally patrol the streets.

The archives themselves are no less festive than the rest of the town, with four large arches carved from ice leading the way into the building. Inside it's as quiet as night with people quietly shuffling to and fro with data pads. Conversations not getting above a whisper level. Inside the building is of moderate size, with two dozen public terminals, and the datapad shelves for more convenient reading. You see two out of place Sith Guards with stun batons at their side watching people come and go through the security checkpoint. The silver Imperial logo blazes from a massive red backed tapestry hanging patriotically from the ceiling. Past this is the receptionist to check you in.

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Seeing the two Sith standing guard at the security checkpoint, Skalf mentally kicks himself for bringing his blaster. He didn't come here to start a fight. Rather than risk a confrontation he begrudgingly makes his way back to the ship to drop off his weapon. He also makes a mental note to speak to Senator Alea about the Sith guarding the archives. Edit: Assuming there are no issues, Skalf returns to area outside the archives and attempts to go through the checkpoint.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

*Kai turns towards Garny and Torv* I think we should start our investigation here. One thing I've learned throughout my travels is the best place to learn information is from disgruntled people who have little to lose by being loose with their tongues. We should be prepared to dole out a few bribes to loosen tongues though. Perhaps we can start by asking the guard if he's seen any of the regulars talking about the Sith.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
The Snivvian approaches the Trandoshan guard. Attempting to look as inconspicuous as possible, he sidles up to the guard.
"Hey, er, you heard any news about the Sith? Anything weird, I mean. Not just 'Urist McSith-politician is being a jerk,' 'cause I'm guessing that happens about every day. Oh, I'd especially like to hear if there's any news on Inquisitor Braxus. Maybe a scandal or something. Possibly some place where a piano could be dropped on him with no witnesses..."

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Torv watches as the Snivvian questions the guard and let's out a quiet chuckle. While keeping an eye on the situation and trying to watch the guard's expression, he says to Kai, "Well, I suppose that's one way to approach the situation. Do you think we should stay here and monitor this.... dilemma? We could just leave him out here with the guard and go inside since he seems to enjoy finding trouble for himself."

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Kai glances over at Torv, then speaks "We probably should, he's a troublemaker, but part of our team for better or worse, and I never leave comrades to fend for themselves if I can help it.

Perception Roll, studying the guard for deception to Garnys answer: 1d20+8

Having said that, Kai turns back towards the guard, and studies his face, looking for any sign or hint that he might know more then he gives to Garny in answer.

[Starwulf]

OOC:Hmm, Forgot to close the brackets on roll in my last post, so re-doing it here in spoiler tags:

Perception Roll, studying the guard for deception to Garny's Answer: [roll0]

[Leik]

Jimbobus

Jimbobus pursed his lips, the miraluka taking the time to gaze around the structure. He took note of the guards standing by, odd he wondered, 'Why are there guards here?'. It wasn't long before Skalf Toro returned, his lack of foresight disturbing to say the least.

"Well, you ready?" Jimbobus asked with thinly veiled annoyance, already he was not amused. But, hey you get what you- Damnit, he thought-- They were paying them good and Jimbobus regretted his decision partially.

'Maybe they'll learn?' he thought as they approached Reception to check in.

[Gamgee]

Kai, Ganry, and Torv:

Kai Sanlai:
You carefully watch how he speaks and holds himself in public, trying to get a vibe if he's trust worthy.
He isn't deceptive, as far as you can tell. His body likewise suggests the same. He's at work.

Garny Tornalkin: His accent is thick with guttural reptilian sounds "Jussst a doorman. Go insside, and no trouble... we'll be watching you. It'sss bad bussiness to talk thesse daysss."

Torv Sey'fa: You stand waiting for something bad to happen after the incident earlier.


Skalf Toro and Jimbobus:
Skalf:
You walk into the checkpoint a little curious, but the troopers only give you a cursory glance. The receptionist is an older lady who smiles at you as you come in to make you feel at ease. She waits for you to check in at the archives.

Jimbobus:
You stand to the side of Skalf, letting hm check in first.

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Ignoring Jimbobus's snide remark, Skalf walks up to the receptionist and, glancing back at the checkpoint, speaks to her in low tones so as not to disturb any of the other visitors. "Strange that the Sith should feel the need to place armed guards in a location such as this. Has there been some sort of trouble here?"

[Gamgee]

Skalf:

"Oh, they're just there to help keep the peace and for the new addition of the Sith Empire's history section. As well we've been given a large grant by them, so we will be doing additional upkeep and pruning of older archives to replace many of the databases and datapads holding them. The building has also underwent some renovation and only recently re-opened to the public, it was in desperate need of work."

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

"The history of the Sith Empire you say? How fascinating! Is that section of the archives open to the general public?"

[Gamgee]

Skalf Toro

"The history of the Sith Empire you say? How fascinating! Is that section of the archives open to the general public?"
Skaf:
"Of course, it's the premier new section. Why wouldn't it be? Now I'll just need to sign you into this system and verify you live here."

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf responds to the receptionist, a little quieter than before. "If it is at all possible, could we skip the part where I am required to sign in? The truth of the matter is I'm here under the orders of Senator Alea. While the subject matter she is having me research isn't restricted, she would like to maintain the upmost discretion under the circumstances and would appreciate your cooperation in the matter."


Persuasion check: [roll0]

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Kai strides quickly and confidently into the bar and begins to look around, trying to find someone who looks like they might know something of importance in the underground. Turning to his companions, he speaks We should all split up in here and talk to different people in an effort to maximize information gathering. .


Perception check: Eavesdrop(DC15 in noisy Areas) [roll0]

Kai walks up to the bar, keeping his head down, and attempts to eavesdrop on those around him to see if he could learn anything that way.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin

The Snivvian wanders off in search for anyone interesting to talk to.

Gather Information Check: [1d20+1]

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Torv follows his companions into the bar and watches them wander off in different directions. He glances around pondering who here might not be too far gone to question before he moves to the opposite side of the bar from the Snivvian.


Gather Information check: [roll0]

[Gamgee]

Skalf:
"I'm sorry sir, but there's no way I can do that. Perhaps if you have some sort of clearance?

Leik rolls his eyes, he can't believe he's going to bail you out so soon. "As a matter of fact, I'm here with Senator Alea." He flashes her an identification card, an authorized one to prove it. "We're just here for a few days, and we're diplomats. We wouldn't dare try anything."

The receptionist just gives him a skeptical look for a moment "Oh, I suppose your only going to be here for a little while." She turns her attention back to Skalf "Okay, you can forgo signing in for the duration of your stay. Please enjoy the archives Mr. Skalftoro" (Official word is 1 week)


Kai Sanlai:
Other than the various aliens and few humans who look at you suspiciously they turn their attention to other matters. Your too distracted by the buzz of conversation to pick anything out but usual bar talk.

Garney:
You go off in search of someone interesting. A few bribes later a Mon Calamari points you to a Neimodian named Sli Yhuno is in charge of hiring the locals over at the Sith base. If there's anyone who might know it's him. Torv catches up with you after uncovering the same information. A few more bribes from both of you get you past his Trandoshan guards for a quick audience. "Make it quick" is all they say as they warily wave you both in.

Sli is sitting at a table entertaining various important looking humans and a few aliens, he has his arm wrapped around a Twi'lek woman looking quite content with the arrangement of looking good.

OOC: 100 credits in bribes to find out who to talk to, and get past his guards.

Torv Sey'fa:
You spend some time working the crowds to see what you can find, and your work leads you to the same place as Garney. You're both forced to pay to get in and meet with him.

OOC: 100 credits for bribes.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin

"So," the Snivvian asks Sli, "You got any idea what the Sith want with this place? Doesn't seem to be much of value here."

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Thanking the receptionist for her cooperation, Skalf makes his way to one of the terminals. Before reaching the terminal he stops and turns to Jimbobus.

"This is probably going to take a while and you may find my research tedious. If you have something more important to do I'm sure I can handle the rest on my own."

With that he takes a seat at one of the terminals and spends a good three hours looking over all available information on the two barren planets and the asteroid belt, paying special attention to any information of an atmospheric or geological nature. Afterwards he spends an extra hour perusing the Sith Archives for anything of interest. True to his word, he makes no attempt to access restricted information.

OOC: I don't know if this type of action requires any knowledge checks but I'll make the rolls anyway just incase.


Knowledge Physical Sciences: [roll0]
Knowledge...Probably either Galactic Lore or Social Sciences for the Sith research. I'm untrained in either so it'll be the same roll: [roll1]

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Giving up on trying to eavesdrop on conversations at the bar, Kai decides to randomly walk up to a patron and initiates a conversation with them, asking if they've heard any rumors about the Sith lately.

Gather information check: [roll0]

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

As Garny finishes his question to Sli, Torv adds at the end, "We heard you've been doing the hiring around here and we are curious as to what exactly you are hiring for since unemployment seems very low here."

[Gamgee]

Skalf:
Leik bows to you "Very well, but we heard you were one of the best. If you insist on squandering this much time, I can't deny you your time with the uh... rocks. If we need your... expertise.... we'll be sure to get in contact." He gives you a curt bow and leaves the archives.

The atmospheric and geological conditions point to standard fare for barren planets, they don't have any. What little mining work done there is done in stations and in mining suits. The majority of the workforce is robotic with only a small maintenance and mining team of humanoids. Old Republic explorers note the planet is extremely rich in mineral wealth, vast deposits of almost every major ore and mineral used int he galaxy are found between the two planets in vast quantities. Your unsure why you can't find the public log of people researching the two barren planets or how it's remained free from a strong mining presence this whole time.

The asteroids have a vast mining industry built up around Azero the first and largest rock to be cleared out. A vast colony of people live here and in smaller stations spread through the vast asteroid belt. The Sith have completely taken over the industry, but from the details on the space stations there's no way to hold all of the people that have been hired. While the two barren worlds have greater wealth it was always easier to just mine the asteroid fields. Though once more there are no records as to why the barren planets are undeveloped. Further searches into more recent archives brought in by the Sith requires approved access, though your not sure from whom.

Kai Sanlai:
You happen to run into a Dug who was pounding his fist on a table furiously while talking to a large Trandoshan. Not looking who you blundered to ask a question, and being so clumsy about it he takes offense. "Who do you think you are? Coming in here and just asking question like you own the place off worlder? Don't you realize where you are?" He jumps to his feet, his arms holding him up, and his legs looking ready to start throwing some punches. His Trandoshan friend doesn't look to pleased either and snarls something in Trandoshan, or just snarls you can't quite tell.

Garney:
The Nemoidian smiles at you, he's trying his best to be sincere but it comes off condescending. "Why do the Sith want anything? Because there's something to be gained from it. You don't exactly look like your coming to beg for a job though, why are you asking questions? Confidential ones... that can be quite costly" he gives you a suspicious glance hoping you get the hint he holds out his hand.

Torv Sey'fa:
"Oh... two curious people. I think my fortunes have just increased." He coughs at you suggestively while holding open his hand.

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

His research concluded, Skalf leaves the terminal and begins to make his way back to the ship to make his report. However before leaving the building he has a disturbing realization. When he spoke to the receptionist before she called him by name. But during their conversation he made no mention of his name.

With this in mind he leaves the building and carefully proceeds towards the ship, observing his surroundings to make sure he isn't being watched or followed.


Perception check: [roll0]

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin

"Oh, uh, you see, the funny thing is," the Snivvian says, pulling up the lining of his pockets, "I don't have any money on me. You could just tell me what's going on and I could go out and fetch my credit chit."

Deception roll: [roll0]

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

"Ahh, well I guess good information will cost me." Torv hands over 100 credits.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Kai takes a step back from the two thugs that look intent on physical violence. I deeply apologize for my clumsiness gentlemen, here, let me buy you a couple rounds of drink and pay for your meals. Maybe in return you can talk to me about things that are happening around this planet? Up to you though, your meals are on me regardless Kai calls over the waitress and hands her 30 credits These gentleman's meals are on me tonight, as well as two rounds of whatever it is they were already drinking

OOC:I'm assuming that we are in an "Average" bar, so two meals would be 20 credits total, plus 2 rounds of drink likely another 10. If it's less or more, just let me know

[Gamgee]

Skalf Toro:
You spot a human in a black cloak tailing you, he's moving through the crowd too much for you to get any better details. You catch his eye when you turned back to spot him, he doesn't falter in walking after you.

Kai Sanlai:
The dug sneers at your paltry gesture "We don't want any sympathy from some off worlder thinking they know how things run down here. You need a lesson in manners." The Trandoshan also gets up and you hear him snarl something in his language which the dug replies to "Yea, this is going to be real fun." You notice a lot of people in the crowd starting to take interest in the fight that just broke out.

OOC: Roll for initiative in the out of character thread.

Garney & Torv Sey'fa:
He laughs at you "Oh no, that's not going to cut it. I was thinking a lot more than that. My asking price starts at five thousand. Your paltry sum is offensive." Then he glares at the Snivvian "I know you have money somewhere, don't offend me." He pauses for thought before continuing You two are very lucky today, I need two tasks done or I would have just let Sskia here break your legs and show you the door. Your either in or your out, I can't give you any details until you agree to do both." He gestures towards the large Trandoshan guard.

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Skalf attempts to duck into an alley to hide.


Sneak check: [roll0]

Also what do my surroundings look like currently? Open establishments, climbable surfaces, stuff like that?

[Gamgee]

Kalin Drace:
Your fellow apprentice speaks to you over the comlink "This is Ignacius here, Kalin do you read me? I think I got a lock on one of our targets, I seen him looking up information in the archives. I'm positive this one was seen by Inquisitor Braxus in her retinue. I might need help with this one, home in on my comlink signal." You are currently sitting a street down from his position, you were trying to follow the other senators aid the Miraluka. He's a crafty one though and gave you the slip in a cafe.

[Hircine]

Kalin Drace

Kalin grips the comlink a worried look on his face. "I'm on my way Ignacious, just don't lose him, we've already lost one mark." What Ignacious didn't know was that Kalin had lost the Miraluka on purpose. Walking up the street Kalin kept his eyes peeled hoping that his partner would lose the target, as if they were able to apprehend the individual only a miserable fate was ahead. Lifting the comlink from his belt he tried to contact Ignacious again. "Am I close?"

Perception Check:[roll0]

[Gamgee]

Kai Sanlai:

The dug quickly whips out a blaster pistol and fires at you point blank.

The dug is evidently not used to fighting so close to his chosen targets and his shot hits the back wall, a patron of the bar barely ducking to avoid it.

OOC: Attack [roll0] Damage if it hits [roll1] Also it's your go now.

Skalf Toro:
You try to duck into an alley and actually do fairly well, but somehow the cloaked man knows where you went. He follows you into the now empty alley except for you and him.

Kalin Drace:
"Yea you are, your only a street away by my reading. The guy just ducked into an alley, if your quick maybe we can cut him off." He tells you how to get to the alley where to cut off the poor unfortunate.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Kai, completely taken off-guard by the pairs refusal to accept his apology, is unable to react quickly enough to the Dug firing at him. Thankfully, the poor bastard is an awful shot and instead nearly kills a watching patron. In response, Kai whips out his own Blaster Pistol, and taking careful aim, and fires at the overly large Trandoshan in an effort to keep him from joining in on the fight.

Attack: [roll0] Damage: [roll1]

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Seeing the cloaked man follow him into the alley, Skalf breaks into a full sprint further down the alley, keeping an eye out for any kind of an escape route. OOC: At a full run, Skalf moves 32 spaces per round.

[Hircine]

Kalin Drace

"Understood.", Kalin replied before placing the comlink back onto his belt. Kalin cursed under his breath as he broke into a sprint following his Ignacious' directions.

Full Round Action Run

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin

He pats his pockets, feeling the distinct lack of money inside them. "Eh, about those tasks?"

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Torv let's out a sigh and scratches his neck before answering, "I'll agree to do these tasks. Now what are the details?"

[Gamgee]

Kai Sanlai:
The big reptile goes down like a sack of potatoes with a smoking scorch mark to the head. The dug sees his friend go down, and takes his opportunity to toss the lightweight metal table at you.

Attack: [roll0] Damage if it hits [roll1]. If it does hit you need to make an acrobatics check as a free action or fall to the ground. I'll let you know if you succeed.

Skalf Toro:
You sprint out of the alley at an incredible pace, your pursuer is beginning to fall behind. As you break free of the alley you can see another robed figure on your left sprinting down the walkway trying to run you down. The human isn't holding any weapons that you can see.

Kalin Drace:
As you follow the directions to a street down you wonder if you were given the proper directions, but out of a side alley your target bursts out sprinting at top speed looking over his shoulder. A Kel Dor, and he's running faster than you've ever seen anyone run before. You see he's spotted you. Ignacius coms back in out of breath "This guy is fast, I've never seen anyone sprint like him. We're going to have to be clever, I don't think we can run him down in a chase."

Garney & Torv Sey'fa:
Sli smiles at you "I'll tell you the first task. It's pretty simple, a local gang decided to not pay me my cut for looking the other way at inspections on my mining freighters. They are going to be paying me tonight, but a trusty informant says they plan to murder my men instead. I want you to make them disappear. Here's a datapad with the drop off location, it also has the warehouse where you can pick up their gift. "

"I have a special surprise for them, the case they think will be filled with spice is actually filled with explosives. Give it to their leader, and detonate it. Don't worry, it's a shaped charge so it won't damage anything except in the immediate vicinity. But do take a few steps back to be safe." He passes you the datapad "Do this for me, and I'll trust you with the other job." Just then you can hear the blaster shots ringing through the bar and the sounds of a scuffle, the Trandoshan bouncers go and have a look.

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

After taking the Trandoshan out of the fight, Kai quickly dodges a table thrown by the Dug. Feeling more confident now, and wanting to end the fight before any form of Law enforcement can show up, Kai carefully aims at the Dug, hoping to end the fight quickly, and perhaps intimidate the rest of the crowd, thinking maybe they'll talk to him after a brutal show of force.

Attack: [roll0] Damage: [roll1]

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

Taking the datapad from Sli and hearing blaster shots coming from the bar, Torv glances at the Trandoshan bouncers heading out. "Sounds like some patrons aren't too fond of each other. Anyways, we'll go take care of this task for you."

[Lemunde]

Skalf Toro

Seeing the robed figure to his left sprinting after him, Skalf turns to his right and starts sprinting away.

[Hircine]

Kalin Drace

Alright, Ignacious you try to cut him off I'll try to keep up with him." Kalin then continues the chase trying to keep on the alien's heels.

Rolls:

Perception - [roll0]

Use the Force - Telepathy [roll1] If successful Kalin expresses he has no desire to harm the spy.

[Ewoklord]

Garny Tornalkin
"Eh," the Snivvian grumbles, "I guess I'll go along with it. This better be some good information."

[Gamgee]

Kai Sanlai:
Your aim is impeccable today and you drop the Dug with little problems. There doesn't seem to be any response by the authorities as of right now. The crowd seeing their spectacle quickly turn back to their mutterings and drinks.

Skalf Toro:
You continue to outpace the two pursuers. It won't be long now until you'll be a street ahead of them and can run somewhere out of sight where they can't see you. Then you feel an odd sensation in the back of your head somehow you know at least one of the robed figures doesn't intend to hurt you if you stop running, you feel an odd tingly feeling in the back of your skull, you can tell one of them is using the force on you.

Kalin Drace:
You keep your target in sight for now, but he's quickly pulling ahead of both of you and leaving you in the dust. In a few more seconds (rounds) he'll be gone and you'll have little hope of trying to catch him then. You let him know through brief feelings through the force he won't be hurt if he stops, now you have to hope he'll listen.

Garney & Torv Sey'fa::
You two leave the bar quickly, by the time you step out into the crowds again you see that whatever ruckus broke out ended just as fast. The bouncers are only peering curiously into the crowd to see who's dead, and they instinctively know someone didn't make it out alive.

[WoOdElF79]

Torv Sey'fa

As they navigate through the crowd and see that the ruckus is finished, Torv tries to get a glimpse of whoever is dead while telling Garny, "Well, it seems we might be able to get some good information from this. Let's go find Kai to see if he has learned anything and then bring him with us." Glancing at Garny, Torv can't help but wonder if the Snivvian has ever had to kill somebody. "If this little scheme of Sli's doesn't go as smoothly as he made it sound, i'd like to have someone who looks like he can put up a good fight with us."

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

After quickly and efficiently dispatching the Trandoshan and Dug who so rudely attacked him merely for asking questions, Kai again decides to randomly question people in the crowd, this time while still wielding his Blaster pistol, in the hopes that he might intimidate someone into talking to him. Going up to the nearest patron, he strikes up a conversation with them, saying"Hi, you may have noticed my troubles with those last two idiots who rudely attacked me merely for being a bit clumsy and asking questions. I still haven't gotten any sort of information, and I was wondering" here he wields his blaster pistol menacingly if perhaps you might have heard anything about the Sith rulers on this planet. Anything about their plans for the future, both for this world, and the ones near it.

Intimidate Check: [roll0]

Skalf Toro

Skalf shakes his head as if trying to wake from a deep sleep. No, this must be one of those Sith mind tricks. I can't allow them to lull me into a false sense of security. He maintains his pace and continues to search for a place to hide.

[Hircine]

Cursing under his breath as the intruder continues to flee which angers Kalin. He suppress his feelings hoping to find another way to stop the escaping target. Kalin then tears off continuing the chase.

OOC:

Garney Tornalkin

The hapless smuggler makes his way towards Kai Sanlai to ask him what had just happened. He is startled to seem Kai pull his blaster and threaten a patron. "Hey, cool it flyboy! We don't need anyone else to end up like that Trandoshan over there!"

[Starwulf]

Kai Sanlai

Kai looks at his traveling companion Garney with a mix of frustration and amusement before looking at the person he is questioning and saying Excuse me a minute, I need to converse with my comrade for a moment. then turns towards Garney Oh, you mean that big dumb lug whom I could have used your assistance in subduing a few moments ago? Yeah, I'm the one who took him out, bastard attacked me because I bumped into him, so I ended up killing him and his companion here Kai motions towards the also lifeless Dug, then resumes Give me a moment with this guy over here, then you can tell me if you've found out anything yet. Kai then fully turns his attention back to the bar patron he was earlier addressing Sorry for the interruption, now, where were we? Oh, that's right, you were just about to tell me if you knew anything about the local Sith and any plans they have for this planet and the ones near it. Oh, let me add, my companion here, is an even better shot then I am, with an even shorter temper, right Garney? Kai quickly glances towards Garney, taking care that the bar patron doesn't see him, and flashes him a quick wink to signal him to play along.

[Ewoklord]

Garney Tornalkin

"Uh, yeah," he says, "I don't like you either." He grabs the patron by the shoulder, "You just watch yourself, we're wanted men." He points to himself, "I have the death sentence on twelve systems!" He scrunches up his nose to look disfigured.

Roll deception: [roll0]

[Gamgee]

Garney, Torv Sey'fa & Kai Sanlai
Both of you see Kai Sanlai pointing a gun at an Ithorian who looks quite distraught, he looks at the blaster and begins to speak "We don't know anything, just go and see Sli." He points to the back of the room which looks heavily guarded by more Trandoshan bodyguards. After Garney speaks up the Ithorian laughs "I'm not fool enough to fall for that, now I've told you all I know so leave me alone." Torv stands idly by watching this all transpire.

Skalf Toro
At long last, your almost free, inches from rounding the corner into the next street you get pelted in the arm quite forcefully, no blood but it stings really badly. You can tell from how far and fast that went he tossed it through use of the force.
OOC:
You take 3 damage, also you need to roll stealth to hide.

Kalin Drace
You take the time to find a small chuck of ferrocrete, it's the lightest thing you can find. You quickly use the force to pelt him with it and it hits him in the shoulder, but otherwise doesn't impair him. He slips out of sight around the corner of the street.
OOC:

Torv Sey'fa

After watching Garney's attempt to intimidate the Ithorian Torv can only let out a sigh. I definitely need to bring Kai along on these tasks he thinks to himself. He quickly holds up the datapad in front of Kai and says, "Garney and I have already met with Sli. We've got two tasks to do in exchange for this information so let's get it over with."

[Ewoklord]

Garney Tornalkin

"Eh, I say we go and do the tasks now," the Snivvian grunts impatiently.

OOC: I'll be gone for a few days, so if anything important happens I just go along with what everyone else does.

[Hircine]

Kalin Drace

Kalin growls angrily as his target escapes from sight. He scans the area in an attempt to find the alien.

Kai Sanlai

Kai looks at Torv in surprise. Good job you two, managed to get what we were after without having to start a deadly bar-fight. I need to take lessons from you two! glancing over at Garney as he grumbles about getting started, Kai quickly echoes the sentiments Yes, we've already wasted far to much time in this hole in the wall. Let's complete these tasks and see what we get in return. Hopefully it's worth it. With that, Kai returns his Blaster Pistol to it's holster, takes one final look around the bar, then walks outside.

[Ewoklord]

Garney Tornalkin

The Snivvian makes one last threatening face at the Ithorian, and follows Kai outside.

OOC: Back.
